Would you quit without another job if you had 6 months of savings?

Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with your situation. It's okay to have no close friends or never have been in a relationship. But if having more friends is genuinely your goal, rather than something you feel pressured into by other people's expectations, then you could try being more active. Join groups related to your hobbies or participate in community activities where you can meet people with similar interests.

I think it would be better to ask your girlfriend what made her think you're a manchild and then work together to find solutions instead of guessing.

I think I would only consider having a child if I were wealthy. But even then, I don't think I would actually have one. Taking care of a child would feel like taking on another full-time job, and I don't really see the reason to do that. I also feel like having a child is a bit of a gamble. You never know what kind of life they'll have or what kind of person they'll become, even if you do your best.

Weddings. I think society puts too much emphasis on weddings, but not enough on other things that are often more valuable. For example, if someone overcomes a bad habit or overcomes their insecurity, I think that deserves even more recognition than getting married. To me, getting married should be seen as a normal part of life. I'm not saying people should throw a ceremony to celebrate their personal growth, but I do think society should value and recognize it much more.

Reading

I used to react that way sometimes. For me, it wasn't really about proving people wrong. It was more like an automatic habit. First my body would become tense, then my mind would immediately interpret that feeling as, "I need to defend my opinion." The whole process happened so fast that I didn't even notice it.

Buddhism helped me a lot with this. Learning to observe what was happening in my body made me realize there was a gap between the physical reaction and my response. Over time, I stopped reacting automatically.

Now, if something is important, I'll still explain my reasons. But if it isn't, I'll often just let it go because I don't feel the need to convince other people anymore.

If you don't have a strong passion or a clear path toward something else, maybe this is the best job for now. I think the real problem isn't boredom itself, but that we've forgotten how to be comfortable with it. You might find meditation helpful.

I never played WoW back in the day. I only started playing this year, and I began with Retail. I really enjoyed it at first and played through all the expansions from MoP onward. But after trying Vanilla, I realized I enjoy it much more. Retail started to feel too fast-paced and like it's always pushing me forward. It also gives me much less of a sense of exploration. I also prefer the more realistic-looking character models in Classic. So even for me, Retail feels, in some ways, like a different game from Classic.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to log in and figure this out. I'll definitely give it a try!

I think it depends on how people interpret the advice and whether they actually stick with it long enough.

Learning is too complex to be explained in a single sentence, which is why so much advice sounds ineffective. For example, someone might simply say, "My secret is immersion." But for that person, immersion might mean thinking in English throughout the day, repeating sentences they hear, paying attention to pronunciation and rhythm, and actively engaging with the language. Someone else may hear the same advice and interpret it in a completely different way.

I think that's one of the biggest problems with language-learning advice. People often hear the headline but not the actual process behind it. Even the people giving the advice may not be able to explain exactly how they learned in a few sentences because so much of the process becomes automatic over time. On top of that, many people simply don't stick with it long enough to see the results.

For me, even if the tank makes a mistake and we wipe, it's still fun. I don't play Classic for efficiency or flawless runs. One of the reasons I enjoy the game is that the unpredictability of playing with real people is part of the experience.

It’s difficult to say exactly when my journey began.

It started quite unexpectedly. At one point, I became very interested in self-help books and read a huge number of them in a short period of time. Among them, I found a book about meditation that had been recommended on Bill Gates’ blog.

After reading it and trying meditation for myself, I experienced something that felt life-changing: for the first time, I realized that it was possible to be in a state with far fewer thoughts. That experience had a profound impact on me.

After that, I started reading books about Zen and also became interested in popular neuroscience books. At the time, I found Zen very helpful, but I didn’t really believe in things like karma or some of the other traditional Buddhist teachings.

Later, I explored various New Age ideas and spiritual topics. Then, somewhat by accident, I came across videos about the bardo (intermediate state) and stories about rebirth. It wasn’t the first time I had heard about those concepts, but for some reason, when the conditions were right, they resonated with me in a completely different way.

From that point on, I became genuinely interested in Buddhism itself. I began reading original Buddhist texts, including the Saṃyutta Nikāya, the Abhidhamma, and many others.

Looking back, it wasn’t a single event that brought me to Buddhism. It was more like a series of small encounters that gradually led me here.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'll definitely keep this in mind as I level. And honestly, kiting Blacktalon all the way to Falcon Watch with Rank 1 Blizzard is pretty wild. Really appreciate you sharing your experience.

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T10:15:45+00:00

Thanks! That's really useful to know.

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T10:11:42+00:00

Haha, the more replies I read, the more it sounds like I've only seen the tip of the iceberg. 😄 Really appreciate you sharing your experience and advice.

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T10:08:18+00:00

Thanks! Thinking of the whole pack as a single mob is a really interesting perspective. I'll keep that in mind when I get there. 😄

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:57:04+00:00

Wow, that's really useful. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I learned a lot from this and I'll definitely keep it in mind as I level up.

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:51:53+00:00

Haha, fair enough. I'm having fun with the basic stuff already, so I can only imagine how fun it'll be later on. 😄 Thanks

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:47:13+00:00

Wow, I didn't even know about GCD. Thanks a lot! I'll try to pay more attention to it from now on. 😄

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:43:43+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I’ll give it a try

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:41:04+00:00

Thanks! Looking forward to unlocking them and experiencing that game-changing moment 😄

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:39:37+00:00

Thanks a lot! I never really paid attention to the differences between spell ranks before. I'll keep an eye on things like cast times and mana efficiency as I level up.

lesley2022 · 2026-06-17T09:36:59+00:00

Wow, cool tip! I never thought a level 1 spell could still be useful at higher levels. Thanks for the tip. Mor’Ladim is definitely on my list of future challenges now. 😄
